Landlords aren't a military position

@Deleted User communism is for communes. It is naturally occuring in small communities. Once a community becomes a nation it falls apart

@celeryman2020 they are though lel

Thats the whole point

Yeh look at any small town even in the us

After the dark ages, people formed feudal society because militaries could be raised from a heirarchy

@PugSlugger was revolutionary catalonia a small commune tho? Tens thousands of people

The landlord summons his vassals and sends them to the count then on and on

Capitalism devolves into something damn close

Not really

Was free territory a small commune? It is as big as Norway

There are thematic similarities but its really apples and oranges

@Deleted User my dude free catalonia was anarchy and a murder pit

They tortured priests to death to prevent dissent

You could say capitalism devolves into communism

Not feudalism

How??

Would you like to know how?

Lol im glad you asked

Capitalism is from England

@PugSlugger yet anarcho-syndicalism was established and the production went up.

They could have done it without killing the clergy tbh

We are talking about economy I thought

Western propoganda is just that communsim/socialism is bad because soviet union was the enemy

Because as businesses get big, they have more money to throw around. Everyone needs money, even politicans. As the corporations band together, they buy out the government slowly gaining more protection against capitalism from naturally eating at their superiority. Normally, when a company gets too big, they dissolve to to market changes and pressure, see the auto industry. When these large industries were failing, they use governmental power to stop their fall.

@PugSlugger also Syrian Kurdistan

Rojava

So capitalism is natural because plutocracy? Trickle down economics?

I'm not sure I'm following how this makes capitalism 1) natural or 2) a good thing

Look up free market communism

Look up worker owned companies

So if I wanted to open a business in socialism, how would that work?

You pay people what they're worth

How would I get the money to start a business?

The value they create

Grassroots funding

One of the big flaws of capitalism is that for some reason ppl think we need the gross excess of consumer products to function.

Herein lies the communism comparisons. The businesses, because of their "too big to fail" policy that they have bought through the government has become the downfall of capitalism. Now, companies like amazon, general motors, etc., are becoming state run, socialized businesses like from the ussr. We have become so worried about the defense of capitalism that we have turned it into communism.

If your idea isn't needed there's no capitalism to say it's special

That is why current american capitalism is closer to communism than feudalism

No investors to make you into a cash cow
